Standing stone

What is recorded here

In low-lying grassland, the area to S is liable to flooding. A thin limestone slab (H 1.4m), rectangular in plan, aligned NW-SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or had ceremonial significance. Its alignment and positioning could relate to local landscape features or seasonal flooding patterns, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
